hoof shoe success continues
‘the cult of priapus’, with a male and a female satyr woodland deities, represented as part human, part horse (and sometimes part goat) and noted for lasciviousness…
art? wearable? when the fashion world decrees an object to be an ‘it’ item, that item enjoys a moment of intense fashionability which outlasts the traditional span of one season. the obsession with handbags has finished a little now. it feels over. it’s about shoes now. certain styles of vivienne westwood’s boots of the 1990’s pushed both the boundaries of taste and the physics of walking, since then, the shoe has reached new levels of extravagance and theatricality.

Hilarity through “fashion”..
Why do we want to elevate ourself to this point? Whats the fashion paradigm beside that?
Is it an extension of sado-masochism?
